Occasionally, Nathan's reflection will not act in accordance to Nathan and instead to their own whims.
Brilliant Deduction:
Spending some time evaluating various components of his surroundings as well as consulting the results of various methods of divination such as casting coins or yarrows, Nathan can obtain morsels of intelligence.
A piece of Nathan's hun has become much unstrung from the rest of himself, akin to dying, tethered only with a haunt to persecute him for past misdeeds and to compel him to pursue his ambition regardless of the toll.
(I Ching Coin Casting:
After casting the three coins "imbued" with his question multiple times and constructing a hexagram bottom upwards based off of the results, noting which hexagram it is, Nathan takes the changing line into consideration, the existence of which denoting whether or not all the factors in the question have come into play yet, and creating another hexagram if so, following the process.
After finishing, the result can be consulted from the I Ching, which details explanations for hexagrams depending on all the factors above. The difficult part is interpreting and figuring out what's underneath the explanations, which is riddled with symbolism and metaphors, and formatting that into something intelligible, which is primarily done in the head, perhaps with some aid from pre-existing information.)

The room is prepared - the bowl set in front, the item to the side. The process must be done outside the presence of light, lest what is happening see the caster.
Minerva opens a wound one one of her arms with one of her claws. Blood, both crimson and silver, but invisible in the darkness, leaks into a bowl. Once it is full, an offering of energy, a portal to the Dreamlands is opened, just for a moment. And a drop of the Chaos Sea is brought into our world. It enters the bowl - not too high, lest it splash. The blood boils, and one must ignore what they hear coming from the blood. It is then poured over the object to be animated, absorbed by it. Chained and shackled within form, making the object just a little bit one of both. Willpower is then applied, and, should one be successful, one may than coax a loyal entity of the Dreamlands into it, to play out its story.

Select a target within arm's reach. Your target should be intuitively based on the triggering event. This Effect cannot be used unless the target is alive and bleeds.

The survivalist spends a moment setting up a makeshift booby trap. The tripwires and pressure plates are so expertly hidden, they can only be noticed by those who have fallen victim to them before.
